Title: 2010 Olympia - Is Ronnie Rockel Europe's #1 Bodybuilder?
Post by: 240 is Back on September 13, 2010, 05:17:30 PM
Dan and Bob of PBBW seem to think so.

Alan Donnely says he's just ahead of Roelly and Wolf.

Is this guy really the best the continent has to offer?

Yup and with a handful of other IFBB pros,right now he may be the best the sport has to offer.

That dude absolutely is a threat to make the top 6 at the Olympia.

when wold is on......Rockell is NOT beating him


and even though Rolley is new on the scene.......rolley from his past two showings, in that condition........would probably make short work of Rockell



also, dont forget that arab/black guy who just won that Europa show........he couldnt beat rockell yet, but he is improving fast

The only negative thing about him is his height at 5'6.  Other than that nothing wrong.  Dexter is 5'6 and he and Ronny have very similar physiques.
Ronny is much better and more complete than Wolfe right now.

That's true, although I would peg Dex a little north of 5'6" while Ronny is a little south.  It doesn't seem like a significant difference, but in can matter in terms of judging.  I predict a top eight finish for Ronny which is hardly a bad placing.

He is a more complete bodybuilder than Dexter, Branch & Victor!

He just needs to harden up a bit and work more on his posing and try to hit the poses the way champions do!

I will be surprised if he places out of the Top 6!!

It's gonna be really competitive, I say top 6.

Rockel is like a white dexter jackson, hes a pretty complete bodybuilder who isnt missing any bodyparts.

And to top it off hes in his early 40's. I hope he does well at the O!

According to Wiggs, yes he can!:

It's gonna be really competitive, I say top 6.

In my opinion it's possible...it looks like he made some improvements and he did come 7th last year.  I won't be surprised if it happens although it is a very tough lineup this year.
